It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Russia's actions meet the definition of genocide? Okay, then Israel can bring the issue to the ICJ and will be vindicated, right?

They are just gonna say that ICJ is antisemitic as is tradition

When you're a self-proclaimed wonk but are completely ignorant of your chosen ethnostate's diplomatic history.

Nah

Where did I put that meme.

I imagine many Zionists understand exactly what they're doing and consider it fully justified, and are just throwing up chaff to try to confuse and mislead people.

I think Alex is a genuine moron, but the difference between arguing with a troll and arguing with a moron is basically nothing. Satre quote still pretty much applies.

Genocide in Ukraine

Genocide in Xinjang

Definitely no genocide in Palestine

liberalism

The less evidence there is of a genocide, the more likely it is that there is a genocide going on. Israel could videotape themselves putting every single Gazan into a gas chamber and it would prove that they actually haven't committed genocide. Meanwhile, we must immediately convict Xi Jinping of his genocide of the Martians. Yeah, there aren't any Martians on Mars - why do you think that is?

The Internet is a toxic place in no small part because you can just say shit and it echoes around and nobody has any material sense of what gets said.

Just abstraction on abstraction till you're utterly blinded.

Yeah bruv every other western nation also propped up Apartheid.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

I love when they try to use that as an own. Like yes Alex I hate those countries too!

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

So his argument is every bad country did it?

Feel like that's not really a defense here
